The Symmetry Breaks, "Writing a full Pauli biography is a task of moving mountains, and Enz...is the first person to try. He starts from his own experience working as Pauli's last assistant and he draws on his sympathies for Pauli's varied concerns....The bulk of Enz's biography is taken up by careful analyses of Pauli's scientific contributions. Working through the publications paper by paper, the book carries the reader along Enz's own trajectory. The author has educated himself in a vast range of material, including work of many other physicists, and his insights will be very useful to anyone who wants to dig into Pauli's physics....Because Pauli's letters and papers were largely written in German, they are closed to most readers; Enz does a great service by writing his biography in English....Enz's portrait fascinates, and much in No Time To Be Brief will last....Enz's unique perspective and detailed analyses offer a great deal."--Science "Enz, Pauli's last assistant at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in Zurich, Switzerland, has prepared a remarkable biography following both its subject's life and career in theoretical physicsDrawing extensively on published correspondence and unpublished sources, this rich and nicely detailed account interweaves the technical richness of Pauli's theoretical work with a full account of his very interesting personal lifeAlthough theoretical physicists and mathematicians will profit mostly from this very detailed study, so will anyone interested in one of the 20th century's great physicistsA most informative and detailed scientific biography."--J.W. Dauben, CHOICE, It should remain a standard reference work for years to come ... Enz's account is a work of impressive scholarship, allied to a sympathetic insight into the character and milieu of his subject. He is owed a debt of gratitude by all physicists, historians of science and by anyone interested in the story of those heroic years when our understanding of the physical world underwent such radical change., It is a fascinating reading, indeed, the life of this famous physicist, the evolution of his thinking, the world of his dreams, ideals, accomplishments and failures. Highly recommended to all those working in the field, and, equally of lovers of good literature!, "Writing a full Pauli biography is a task of moving mountains, and Enz...is the first person to try.
